6. Observations for Shooting Stars, April 20-21, 1842. — During 

 the nights of the 17th, 18th and 19th of April, 1842, the sky at this 

 place was overcast, and observation for meteors was of course useless. 



The night of 20-21st was after 11 P. M. quite clear, and observa- 

 tions for shooting stars were made from the summit of the Hospital, by 

 Messrs. F. Bradley, A. B. Capwell, E. Y. Gould, G. Wood, and my- 

 self. One quarter of the heavens was assigned to a single observer. 

 The fifth person took charge of the chronometer, and occasionally 

 aided one of the others, generally the observer looking eastward, so 

 that the whole number of meteors seen, may have been one tenth 

 greater than would have been discerned by four persons only.
